When a loved one
dies, it is often the quotidian life we shared with them which gives
us our most precious memories. In the feature-length drama, "Echo
Lake", Miles Elliot is haunted by the memory of a camping trip in
the remote wilderness area where his older brother, Lee, went missing
without a trace. The movie follows Miles as he searches across the
geographies of wilderness, memory and spirit for clues to his brotherŐs
disappearance.
Rich in atmosphere
and nuance, "Echo" Lake is a calm, beautifully minimalist drama
set amid the ancient rainforests of British Columbia. The painterly
images allow us to intimately experience the lush world of the old
growth forest which serves as a metaphor for the psychological landscape
of the two brothers. Director Richard Story comments: "I wanted
to find images of water, earth and the woods which would reflect
the mystery and shadow of hidden feelings as we accompany the brothers
through the last few days they share togetherÓ.
